Reviews for Chubby Gristle (#954)

Review by Rebelstar Without a Cause on 06 Jul 2013 (Rating: 3)

There's no shortage of platform games on the spectrum and this one is nothing special. However I found it to be good fun with a lot of charm.
Probably the best game featuring an overweight traffic warden ever.

Chubby Gristle presents you with one of the best tunes ever written for the Spectrum .

Apart from that , the main character. is a true symphatetic one ... !!


I havenĀ“t advanced into the game that much but there is some depth into it and it seems to me that Chubby Gristle has some surprises all over ...

Interesting variation of the old Manic Miner theme ... colorful and joyful with an irresistible tune sounding all over the game .

A world of charm and illusion ...


4,5 out of 5 .

A very cute game in the same vein of Jet Set Willy. There is nothing new here, but the game compensates itself by being very well written and with interesting and well placed platforms. I also liked the quirky humour and some peculiar characters. And the tunes are awesome. Chubby Gristle
does resemble Monty Mole, a cousin maybe?

Another Jet Set Willy only with a dancing title and with a star sporting a bouncing belly.

2,5/5

Was disappointed with this. It's got nice graphics and a jolly tune but once you play it it doesn't take long to realise it's Jet Set Willy, that's all that needs to be known, except this is somehow less enjoyable. It just feels a bit naff to me.
